A.J. Price will reportedly get a 10-day contract with the Suns.

With Brandon Knight out, it's plausible Price could earn some minutes in the Suns' rotation. However, he's not going to see significant floor time right out the gate, so it's safe to leave him on the wire in most formats. Mar 20 - 6:02 PM

With Brandon Knight out, it's plausible Price could earn some minutes in the Suns' rotation. However, he's not going to see significant floor time right out the gate, so it's safe to leave him on the wire in most formats.

He played 14 minutes in back-to-back games with the Cavs missing some of their guys. Price will likely be added at some point in the future, but there's obviously no need to add him in any fantasy league.

The NBA granted the Pacers a second exception with all of the injuries the team has sustained, and that means A.J. Price will remain with the club for at least the next 10 days. He'll continue to backup Donald Sloan while George Hill (ankle) and C.J. Watson (foot) stay sidelined.

A.J. Price was huge off the bench against the Bulls with 21 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 24 minutes.

It's his second 20-point game in his last four and he's shot the ball well in his last five, making 51.9 percent from the field for 14.6 points, 2.0 boards, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.6 treys in that span. Price is still not worth owning in most leagues and we'd prefer Donald Sloan.

After a strong showing during Monday's win over the Jazz, A.J. Price said he's playing for his basketball life.

"I'm playing for my life, man," Price said Monday's win. "I'm staying till they tell me to go or tell me to stay longer, either or. I just worry about what I can control. I'm out here right now; I'm here. I'm going to keep playing as hard as I can, 110 percent every day." Price scored 22 points with one rebound, one assists, and three treys in the win, but it's hard to recommend him as anything more than a deep league pickup as he's stuck playing alongside Donald Sloan until George Hill (knee) and C.J. Watson (foot) are back.

A.J. Price got hot against the Jazz during a 97-86 win on Monday, making 8-of-12 from the field for 22 points with one rebound, one assist and three 3-pointers.

He was so hot that coach Frank Vogel played him next to Donald Sloan down the stretch. Price was just picked up on Nov. 6 and it's pretty clear the team will be counting on him until George Hill (knee) or C.J. Watson (foot) get back. He's still only an option in deep leagues.

Price will serve as emergency depth for the Pacers, but they're in need of that emergency depth right now with George Hill (knee), C.J. Watson (foot), and Rodney Stuckey (foot) all sidelined. Price will help backup Donald Sloan at the point guard position, but coach Frank Vogel said that most of the minutes will go to Sloan. Price looks like more of a deep league asset right now.

Price is coming in as as an emergency depth move with all of the injuries the Pacers have racked up. With Donald Sloan starting because C.J. Watson (foot) and George Hill (knee) remain out indefinitely, Price should contribute right away off the bench. It's also worth noting Rodney Stuckey (foot) is out as well.

Updating a previous item, A.J. Price is expected to sign with the Pacers on Thursday, according to Yahoo Sports.

Marc J. Spears of Yahoo Sports reports that Price is on his way to Boston to sign with the Pacers as they need to use their hardship exemption before Thursday's game against the Celtics. It seems as if Gal Mekel's visa holdup proved too difficult to solve, so the Pacers moved onto Plan B in Price. While he'll see some time as Donald Sloan's backup, Price doesn't provide any fantasy value beyond deeper leagues.

He sprained his ankle again on Sunday and the Suns will continue to hold him out. Expect Marcus Morris and Archie Goodwin to get most of his minutes. Morris is worth owning in all leagues while Knight isn't a great player to own right now.

He still hasn't been able to practice and this will likely be his fourth straight game on the sidelines. Thornton wasn't in the rotation prior to his injury, so he shouldn't have been owned in most leagues anyways. Leave him on the wire.

Alex Len may have broken his nose on Monday and is getting an X-ray to confirm, according to the Suns broadcast.

He's having some bad luck with injuries. Len's ankle finally healed, but now he could miss time with this issue. Chris Kaman caught Len with an inadvertent elbow and it caused some bleeding. If he's out, Brandan Wright would get a big bump in minutes.
